Fr Dolan; Criticizing Politicians Sinful? Benedict The Fatima Pope? Did God Will Judas' Betrayal?

In this video, Father Jenkins and Thomas Naegele begin with sad news: On the day of the recording, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Fr. Dolan passed away; Fr. Cekada passed away in 2020; please pray for these priests. Father then addresses the following viewer questions: Is it sinful to speak negatively about politicians?; the sins of detraction (telling secret faults) and calumny (slander) can be mortally sinful; obligations of justice and charity; the character of a politician is of public concern; revealing others’ faults out of necessity; the right to know others’ faults; example — mortally sinful not to reveal to the priests an impediment to marriage; the obligation to reveal faults of politicians; requirements of evidence; motivations of malice. In the crucifixion, did our Lord bear the Father’s wrath or Satan’s wrath?; the Father’s love for the Son and for us; the Son's love for the Father and for us; our Lord did take upon Himself God’s wrath, but this is not to be understood in the Lutheran sense; the Father’s love for His Son, even as man; Christ’s devotion to the Father’s will, as man; Christ paid the price for our guilt; God hates sin because it is contrary to His love; we must hate sin out of love for God; mortal sin — ordering God out of the soul for the love of a creature; those who love God hate sin; the wrath of Satan who knew the promise of a redeemer and the threat to his dominion; Satan in the desert — “if you are the Son of God …”; Satan blinded by malice; tormenting our Lord in the garden. Did God will Judas to betray our Lord?; nothing can happen without God’s consent; God gives existence to all that exists; God’s absolute will and conditioned will; God’s designed will and resigned will; God can cause evil and sin to result in a greater good; St. Augustine — felix culpa; God’s infinite power to bring about good; Judas’ responsibility; Pilate’s responsibility; the Old Law imperfect — why?; the wrath of the people against Moses and the wrath of the pharisees against our Lord. Was Benedict XVI’s assassination prophesied in the 3rd secret of Fatima?; Karl Rahner — leading modernist in Vatican II and Joseph Ratzinger Rahner’s protégé; Ratzinger seems conservative only by comparison; can a person hold to Modernism and be a Catholic?; the assassination prophecy genuinely part of the 3rd secret?; the Great Apostasy; Ratzinger supports Francis; grasping for explanations of the current crisis; the devil using controversies to distract the faithful; the main issue — follow tradition; real Mass, real sacraments, real priests; legitimate to ask whether Francis is really the pope; not legitimate to bind the consciences of others. Can tap water be added to holy water?; depends upon how much; the custom; divine grace cannot be diluted. And finally, a warning about U.N. vote on amendments that would obligate the U.S.A. to the World Health Organization; pray and be faithful to Christ the King, who has absolute VETO power; pray the litanies of the Holy Name, of Mary, and of St. Joseph; our Lady — health of the sick; trials permitted for the manifestation of the power of God.
